Mark, for someone who is so into dosage, how is it that you have picked the WORST possible dosage profile of any of the contenders as this year's winner? Yeah, Came Home qualifies, but with a 4.00 and 1.0 CD.

The dosage results in recent years speak for themselves. This may have been a useful tool years ago, and if you stretch a study back 20-30 years it may still look good statistically, but the trend is your friend. I don't think it has meant a thing in the last 5 years.

Much more relevant stats are those which are 100% factual, and not the opinion of some person who decides which horses provide points in which categories. Average winning distance that is a statistical and undebateable fact. Secratariat splits his dosage between Classic and Intermediate. How can that be proven? Will you still call Thunder Gulch a fraud when 10 year from now Dr Steve adds some sire to the list that changes TGs dosage? Will there EVER be any new Solid or Professional sires added to the list, given that speed is now bred so heavily? This tool has served it's purpose and it's time to move on, in my opinion...
